Cool find! "Say Anything" is a different kind of movie that gets better with more viewings in my opinion.

Seemed like a good idea at the time when I snagged it .. but here you go folks with credit to Pitts and Cameron Crowe's site:

---------------------------

“SAY ANYTHING…”

FADE IN OVER BLACK:

INT. COREY’S BEDROOM – DAY

LLOYD DOBLER, 19, sits slumped in a small chair. He’s tall, bulky, his nose looks slightly mashed. Hidden in there somewhere is a good-looking kid. Lloyd thumbs through a newspaper, sips a Super Big Gulp from 7-11.

We’re in the bedroom of COREY FLOOD, 17. It’s a weigh-station between school and home. Corey’s walls feature photos and collages, most of them featuring a darkly-handsome young man named Joe. Corey sits on her bed, playing Led Zeppelin riffs on an amplified electric guitar. By her bed is a four-track cassette recorder — the sign of a musician. Sitting on the floor, writing in a journal, is girlfriend D.C. She’s a loyal supporter of her two friends, an introvert who mediates between two extroverts. Corey looks down at the school annual open on her bed.

COREYI don’t feel anything.

D.C.Come on. It’s graduation.

COREYIt’s all so phony. Did you see whatMr. Carroll wrote in my yearbook?He ridiculed me all year long inEnglish, then he wrote — ‘You’re areal live wire…Love, Mr. Carroll.’

D.C.He wants to leave things on a goodnote.

COREYWhen Mr. Carroll says ‘love’ I startlooking for a new word.

D.C.Lloyd, she’s being difficult.

Lloyd looks up from his newspaper.

LLOYDIf life was a movie, what would itbe rated?

COREYThat’s a ‘Lloyd’ question.

D.C.Probably R. Maybe X.

COREYSince Joe, my life is definitely X.

LLOYDI’m probably PG-13 — some materialmay be too intense for young children.

D.C.That’s too bad.

LLOYDI’m doing something about it. I’mgoing to take Diane Court out again.

The girls exchange meaningful looks.

COREY

Unlikely.

LLOYD

The movies is a good second ‘date’,right?

COREY

You never had a first date.

D.C.

I hate that word ‘date.’

LLOYD

I sat across from her at BellSquare. We both ate. That’ssharing eating — an importantphysical event. Why isn’t thatgoing out?

COREY

That’s not even a scam.

LLOYD

What’s a scam?

COREY

Going out as friends.

D.C.

No it’s not.. Scam is lusting.

LLOYD

Then what is a date?

The girls take a moment to consider.

D.C.

A date is . . . prearrangement with a possibility for love.

LLOYD

I’m going to call her.

COREY

Lloyd.

LLOYD

What?

COREY

Diane Court doesn’t go ‘out’. She’sa brain . . .

D.C.

. . . trapped in the body of a gameshow hostess.

COREY

Diane Court doesn’t even know howgood-looking she is. All she thinksabout it bio-chemistry.

LLOYD

This all sounds great to me. I’mgoing to call her.

COREY

Lloyd. Brains stay with brains.The bomb could go off, and theirmutant genes would form the samecliques.

He gets up, bounces lightly off the walls.

D.C.

I wouldn’t get my hopes up, Lloyd.

LLOYD

Did she every say anything about me,Corey? Tell me the truth.

COREY

(high-strung)She doesn’t talk about that stuff!

LLOYD

Take it easy. I was just asking.

COREY

You’re such a nice guy, Lloyd. Wejust don’t want to see you get hurt.

Lloyd stands, lumbers around the room.

LLOYD

I want to get hurt! Will someonejust let me get hurt?
